No, I agree. Someone on another message board said this about his face in those pics with Obama:

Have you been looking at his face on camera since he won, including during today’s meetings with Obama and company? I may be projecting, but I think he looks miserable/scared/overwhelmed.

The magnitude to which people fear or dislike this situation (I refuse to say his name) is staggering...I can’t begin to encompass it given my inner rage coupled with numbness

Hi Jeremiah. Let me try to explain this to you, as someone who is also white, and male, as best I can.

Yes, a lot about whiteness. Also, a lot about anti-globalization. There’s a waive of isolationism that’s sweeping the globe. It started with Brexit, and now Trump. France is next, and then Germany. Then, who knows? I know that this too has a lot to do with racism (particularly Muslim immigrants), but isolationism…

Earlier today, I mused to a friend - if the previous 8 years was exactly the same, but Obama was just some white guy, does Trump still win now? Impossible to know for sure. But, there was a very strong element of putting non-whites “back in their place” in all of this.

This white person agrees. It was us. I don’t want it to be us, but there it is.

I am just dumbfounded on how this could happen. Just absolutely, 300% done.

I am just going to keep saying this everywhere, because I have zero other words but I feel this knot in my stomach:

I have nothing to say other than I have honestly never been so ashamed to be an American as I am tonight.

I got nothing. I don’t remember when I’ve felt this awful recently. you have no idea how medicated I am and I’m still filled with so much anxiety I can’t fucking stand it. Fucking. Gary. Johnson. FUCKING. GARY. JOHNSON.

Already cried on the phone with my mom, but I can’t tell if it’s because I’m scared or so disappointed. Probably a bit of both.

YES! Thank you.

That stolen information included the murders of two journalists and the killing of over 100 civilians in an (at best) ill-considered airstrike the U.S. unsuccessfully tried to claim was a Taliban grenade attack.

Do you think improper and possibly illegal military action by a government should not be brought to light?…

There is no false equivalency. More than one thing can be bad at the same time. Two people can both do bad things, that doesn’t mean those two people are exactly the same.

Except I already voted for Hillary by absentee ballot because Trump represents the prospect of a Republican party abandoning their masks.

They’re both in trouble. But as a progressive, the DNC is a lot more important to me. The Republicans can go die in a fire for all I care, but dysfunction at the DNC is important and it’s been conspicuously ignored for years.

Brazile leaking the CNN debate questions, the campaign’s coordination with the Correct the Record super PAC, the Band and Gibson memos on the Clinton Foundation’s role in influence peddling, and her comments towards Wall Street? You’re living in bubble if you don’t think there’s damaging material in Poedesta’s emails.

You can’t say that here. Leaks about Hillary Clinton cheating during debates and colluding with the DNC are tainted...Trump leaks are sacrosanct.
